Shot ball for pneumatic gun

ABSTRACT

A shot ball for a pneumatic gun is disclosed, which comprises an outer skin which forms a breaking line as its two parts contact with each other; a stuff which is filled in the interior of the outer skin; and a shock absorbing cover which is attached to the outer skin and absorbs an external impact. As a shock absorbing cover made of a silicon material is attached to an outer surface of an outer skin, even when a certain external impact is applied to the outer skin, the impact is substantially absorbed and transferred to the outer skin, so the outer skin is not easily broken, and the stuff stored in the outer skin is stably stored.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a shot ball for a pneumatic gun, and inparticular to a shot ball for a pneumatic gun which can be used for asurvival game, a crime prevention, a self-protection or a demonstratorsuppression as a shot ball is fired and explodes on an object, so apaint or a tear liquid filled in the interior of the shot ball is coatedon an object or is sprayed around an object.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, a survival game is told that persons or groups are divided,and the divided persons or groups fire a paint ball filled with paintwhile moving in a mountain or a building by using a pneumatic gun forthereby playing like a simulation war game.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a cross section structure of aconventional paint ball for a survival game.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional paint ball 100 for a survival gamecomprises an outer skin 110 which is formed as two semi-spheres made ofa gelatin material are bonded with each other while forming a breakingline 111, and a fluorescent paint 120 filled in the outer skin 110.

In case of the above conventional paint ball 100 for a survival game,the paint ball is designed to break by means of a certain externalimpact. So, when a paint ball is not fired to an object by using apneumatic gun, for example, when it drops down on the ground by mistake,an external impact is directly transferred to the object by means of apneumatic gun, so the outer skin 100 may be broken, and the fluorescentpaint 120 filled in the paint ball may be leaked.

As the outer skin 110 is made of a gelatin which is weak to water, whenthe conventional paint ball 100 for a survival game contacts with water,the outer skin 110 is melted, so the fluorescent paint 120 filled in thepaint ball 100 leaks to the outside.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shotball for a pneumatic gun in which an outer skin is not easily broken bymeans of an external impact, so a filled stuff filled in the outer skinis stably stored.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a shot ball fora pneumatic gun in which an outer skin is stably protected even whenwater contacts with an outer skin.

To achieve the above objects, there is provided a shot ball for apneumatic gun which comprises an outer skin which forms a breaking lineas its two parts contact with each other; a stuff which is filled in theinterior of the outer skin; and a shock absorbing cover which isattached to the outer skin and absorbs an external impact.

There is further provided a waterproof film which is formed as awaterproof paint is painted on the whole outer surfaces of the outerskin.

The shock absorbing cover is attached to both sides of the outer skinwith respect to the breaking line in a state that the breaking line isexposed to the outside.

The outer skin is formed in a ball shape.

The outer skin is formed in a bullet shape.

The stuff is a fluorescent paint containing a fluorescent material.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a shot ball for a pneumaticgun according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is across sectional view illustrating a shot ball for a pneumatic gunaccording to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is aperspective view illustrating a shot ball for a pneumatic gun accordingto another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a crosssectional view illustrating a shot ball for a pneumatic gun according toanother embodiment of the present invention.

An outer skin 10, 10′ of a shot ball 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gun accordingto the present invention is not easily broken by means of an externalimpact, so a stuff 20 stored in the outer skin 10, 10′ can be reliablystored, and even when the outer skin 10, 10′ contacts with water, theouter skin 10 can be stably stored. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the shotball 1, 1′ comprises an outer skin 10, 10′ forming a breaking like 11,11′, a stuff 20 stored in the outer skin 10, 10′, and a shock absorbingcover 30 which is attached to both sides of the outer skin 10, 10′ forabsorbing the external impact.

Here, the outer skin 10, 10′ forms a certain casing for storing thestuff 20 therein and is preferably made of a gelatin material forminimizing the impact applied to a certain object when the shot ball 1,1′ for a pneumatic gun is fired to a certain object. The outer skins 10and 10′ are contacted with each other and are bonded while automaticallyforming a breaking line 11, 11′ along its center.

A stress created by means of the impact as the shot ball 1, 1′ hits theobject is focused on the breaking line 11, 11′, and the outer skin 10,10′ is broken along the breaking line 11, 11′, so the stuff 20 stored inthe outer skin 10, 10′ leaks to the outside.

As shown in FIG. 3, the semi-spheres of the outer skin 10, 10′ arecontacted with other and are bonded like the paint ball used for aconventional survival game, and then the breaking 11 is formed along itscenter line for thereby forming a ball shaped outer skin 10, 10′.According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown inFIG. 3, a bullet head shaped outer skin portion and a bullet body shapedouter portion are contacted with each other and are bonded, so a bulletshaped outer skin is made while forming a breaking line 11 along asurrounding surface of a bullet as shown in FIG. 10′.

In case of the bullet shaped outer skin 10′, it might be used for acrime prevention, a self-protection or a demonstrator suppressionpurpose. In this case, it is advantageous that a hit rate might besignificantly enhanced depending on a fluidic mechanical characteristicbased on the bullet shaped outer skin, and a flying distance of the samemight be significantly enhanced.

The stuff 20 is filled in the outer skin 10, 10′. Here, the stuff 20corresponds to a functional liquid, which works against the objectdepending on the use of the shot ball 1, 1′. When the shot ball 1, 1′for a pneumatic gun according to the present invention is used for asurvival game gun, it may be made of a fluorescent paint including afluorescent material, and when the bullet 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gunaccording to the present invention is used for a crime prevention, aself-protection or a demonstrator suppression gas fun, it might begenerally made of a tear liquid.

An ultraviolet ray sensitive light emission material is preferablycontained in the stuff 20. When the ultraviolet ray sensitive lightemitting material is exposed to an ultraviolet ray emitted from anultraviolet ray lamp, it emits a certain color, so the object hit by theshot ball 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gun according to the present inventioncan be easily recognized, which leans to an easier and reliable captureand chase of an object. The ultraviolet ray sensitive light emittingmaterial may be an ultraviolet ray sensitive powder (UV powder) or a UVsensitive paint.

The shock absorbing cover 30 is attached to both sides of the outer skin10, 10′. The shock absorbing cover 30 reliably absorbs an impact createdas the shot ball 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gun according to the presentinvention falls down on the ground and transfers to the outer skin forthereby preventing the outer skin 10, 10′ from being broken by means ofa certain external impact. It is preferably made of a silicon materialfor reliable shock absorption.

In case of the ball shaped outer skin 10, the shock absorbing cover 30is attached with the same thickness, so the whole ball shape ismaintained. In case of the bullet shaped outer skin 10′, the bullet headis thicker than other portions for thereby enhancing a hit rate withrespect to the object.

It is preferred that the shock absorbing cover 30 is attached to bothsides using an adhesive with respect to the breaking line 11, 11′, sothe outer skin 10, 10′ can be easily broken when the shot ball 1, 1′ fora pneumatic gun according to the present invention is fired from apneumatic gun and is hit on the object, and then the stuff 20 can leakto the outside. In this case, the breaking line 11, 11′ is exposed tothe outside in a state that the shock absorbing cover 30 is attached.

It is preferred that the water proof film 40 is formed on the wholeouter surfaces of the outer skin 10, 10′ for preventing the outer skin10, 10′, generally made of a gelatin material, from contacting withwater and melting and flowing down by reliably avoiding water fromdirectly contacting with the outer skin 10, 10′. A waterproof paintcontaining an epoxy, a polyurethane or something is coated on the wholeouter surfaces of the outer skin 10, 10′.

Since the shock absorbing cover 30 is attached to the outer side of theouter skin 10, 10′ of the shot ball 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gun accordingto the present invention, even when an undesired external impact isapplied to the outer skin 10, 10′, the undesired external impact isreliably absorbed and is transferred to the outer skin, so the outerskin 10, 10′ is not easily broken by an undesired external impact, andthe stuff stored in the outer skin 10, 10′ can be reliably storedtherein.

In the shot ball 1, 1′ for a pneumatic gun according to the presentinvention, since the waterproof film 40 is formed on the whole outersurfaces of the outer skin 10, 10′ by means of a waterproof paint, evenwhen the outer skin 10, 10′ contacts with water, the outer skin 10, 10′is not damaged by water and is stably and reliably stored.

In case of the shot ball 1′ for a pneumatic gun according to the presentinvention having a bullet shaped outer skin 10′, it should beappreciated that a hit rate with respect to a certain object issignificantly enhanced, and a flying distance can be also significantlyenhanced.
